You're sure this is gramatically correct? I've never heard anybody nor any written article refer to it this way. They'd probably say "too much air pollution".
I'm positive, "too high an air pollution" is grammatically correct. As for the turn of phrase, a high air pollution may not be that common, but you can find articles with that expression.

I must say I'm not surprised at your comment, and it confirms what I first thought: Americans' proficiency in the English language is diminishing. And the Spanish language is slowly becoming the first language. It's due to the fact that the Chicanos are more and more numerous, por supuesto.
Teaching quality in the United States is declining steadily too.
Well, you must be thinking that I'm underestimating you and that's not the case. In fact, I didn't think that an American could write English so well. But Brits and Northern Europeans are probably better, no doubt through historical atavism, I mean Shakespeare was not American, And the current president of the US is speaking English like a Spanish cow. I'm sure shadow.97 will agree with me on this.

Well, maybe such is more commonly used than too, and in this case there is no grammatical exception.
Thus, note the difference between: he's too big a man / he's such a big man.
But "he's a too big man" is not correct.

In those links you posted I don't see any mention of "too high an air pollution" or something that says the phrase is gramatically correct. I personally have never heard it expressed that way, which is why I asked if you believe this was correct.

There is no question the level of education is this country is disastrous when compared to the rest of the world. Every day it just gets worse as subjects that were once mandatory are removed from high school curriculums. Not surprisingly grammar among pre-college students is horrendous, with few exceptions.

Indeed the prevalence Spanish is growing. While Mexicans might be the majority overall, they're certainly not the only ones. In Miami, for example, there are very few Mexicans and yet Spanish is as prevalent as English, if not more so. Too many Cubans, Colombians, Nicaraguans, and more recently an invasion of Venezuelans. Add to this that there are more and more Spanish TV networks, radio stations, cable channels, newspapers and much more. None of this existed 50 years go.

As you already know, English is a bastard language and generally a disaster. At least American English is more phonetic than in other countries. Words like "center", "theater", "color", "fiber" and many more have less phonetic and more confusing spellings in other countries.

Today, windows 10 x64 pro Redstone 5 v1809 (with the March updates) is available.

Can this be installed over an older version of Windows 10?

It's also activated by default.

How did you manage this? Does that mean you don't have to rearm it?

For Vasudev who is waiting for windows 7, I'll release an extra lite edition later.


As usual, it contains many reg tweaks, netfx 3.5, netfx 4.7.2, dx9 (and 12) and many programs.
Note: in this edition you'll find much more programs like vlc, firefox, handbrake, silverlight, cdisplay (custom made edition of SF), Sumatra, Flashplayer+schockwave...
It's also activated by default.
Nothing was deleted in winsxs and to obtain such a size, install.wim was converted into esd.
As usual, It also contains 7zip 19.00, winrar 3.70, Treesize free, subtitles edit, Visual C++ Redist...and the latest drivers.
list of the embedded drivers here (to be updated): https://justpaste.it/6golp
Nothing was removed except the useless recovery file winre.wim (but a script was run to remove the useless appx and provisioned packages. Hopefully they won't come back since the registry was updated too).
Fx sound enhancer was added (full version).
Windows defender is disabled by default but can be re-enabled again via gpedit.msc.

only 3.39 Gb
Link: soon




and here is the link for a switch-less win10 activator (encrypted & automatic).
I encrypted it to store it more easily since some antivirus detect it as a virus. Disable your antivirus before executing the exe (it’s not a virus).
A few seconds later,it’s done.

Note that an updated repack of the latest version of Dishonored 2 will be available later this month. The decompression will be more reliable too.
Too bad I'm on Redstone 6 19H1. I'm waiting for your extra lite W7. I deleted my W7 ISO. Hahahaa....

I never tested that but you should be able to install it over a previous version.

Some apps are installed during install. But you have to rearm it every 6 months. Otherwise you'll have a watermark...

Vasu -> Why do you prefer 7z over Winrar? I have the cracked version of Winrar 5.70 - it's fast and it works great. I ask because I haven't tested 7z and I wonder what an apples-to-apples comparison looks like. When I have to open a 7z file I use Total Commander's 7z plugin, but Winrar could easily open them too.

Vasudev

@scarface:If you use rar then WinRAR is the best. I switched to 7z format long time and 7zip can open a lot of linux and windows files easily and even a  Linux version can do the same and I prefer cross platform compatibility and performance.
@humbert:
I never used Winrar!

I'm not claiming to be the best.

Both programs are included in the SF windows 10 anyway, I don't know what the fuss is all about.

Note that the development of an home-made windows 10 Pro x64 lite v1903 is currently under way. A new version will be available soon.

I'm already on 1903 insider 18862 and there are few bugs pending, System > Apps crashes settings app and lot of minor UI inconsistencies.

@scarface: Doesn't ESD tax the CPU while compressing/decompressing on low end PCs?
Why don't you use NTLite to remove UWP apps and save 1GB per edition?
